Help with text response please:

W keeps texting me about missing items from kids bags. She asked me to pack another set of shoes, I did, 2 extra pair, but on one pair, only 1 shoe made it. He has the pair he has on, another pair and 1/2 of the 3rd pair. She wanted a specific pair of shoes but negelcted to mention that - so now she is mad I didn't pack the "right" set of shoes - his puma's.

I feel like she is making a mountain out of a molehill. Why do I let her emotions make me mad. I am trying very hard to not let that happen anymore but ..... working working working on it.

Do I need to respond to this??

She also texted asking for another day - Saturday, I am supposed to pick them up Friday.

Here is my suggested draft statement:

Regarding shoegate, I found the other shoe in the closet, I can bring it to work tomorrow. However, I think I understand you wanted the PUMA's? If so, I can bring those in.

Unfortunately, we have plans for Saturday, so I will pick the children up as usual on Friday.

Thanks

Does that sound too dry? Too artificial?

God, I am texted out with her. All of this text barrage over the weekend has left me emotionally drained. Feeling very low.

Get back in your can Eeyeore!!!!
